    I am very grateful to Heather Rowland, Head of Library Collections, and Adrian James, Assistant Librarian, at the Society of Antiquaries of London; Kay Walters and her team at the Athenæum Club library; the staff at the University of Sussex library at Falmer, East Sussex and the National Archives at Kew and in the Rare Books, Manuscripts and Humanities reading rooms at the British Library. My thanks are also due to the staff at the Bodleian Library; to my researchers Hilda McGauley of ‘Records of Ireland’ for her assistance at the National Library of Ireland and especially to Denise A.
